Demonstrators were treated to a surprise appearance on stage by Mursi's wife, Naglaa Mahmoud. She appealed to the crowds and to Egyptian authorities for her husband to be released and returned to power.
Despite threats by the interim government to clear the camp, the crowds at Rabaa al-Adawiya remain defiant.
Close by in Tahrir Square, Eid was also marked by crowds of supporters of the military.
Interim President Adly Mansour says mediation efforts by US, EU and Arab envoys have failed. The US and EU say the situation in Egypt remains "fragile"

I love this shirt only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because the Tech T Median shirt runs bigger than the transpiration median shirt. I have one median shirt that fits awesome and on median shirt that fits like a large and since I had it embroidered I can't return
Ronny Gonzalez - 4/25/2017
Arborwear clothing and service is second to none!!! They are always eager to help when you call. We used to only wear the pants, but have gone to the whole uniform with their clothing. We can't say enough good about them.
Andrew Cushman - 4/3/2013
Love 'em. They are soft, dry quickly, and are durable for the harsh Afghanistan environs. But, the sizing is off...I ordered my normal XL but the shirt fit like an XXL. I ordered three more, size L and they fit perfectly (I'm 5'8", 215 lbs).

Rockhurst's Derek Schrick and Lee's Summit North's Allie Stephenson were recognized Saturday as the Kevin Gray male and female youth players of the year by Sporting Kansas City.
The awards, which were first given out last season, are in honor of late Kansas City Sports Commission president Kevin Gray, who died last June.
Schrick, who was The Star's All-Metro player of the year, was a National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-American and Missouri Class 3 player of the year. He will play at Southern Methodist in the fall.
Stephenson, who is going to Oklahoma State, led the Broncos to second place at the Missouri Class 3 state tournament and finished her career with 113 goals and 57 assists.
• With Matt Besler still recovering from an appendectomy, Lawrence Olum made his first MLS start as a central defender.
Roger Espinoza returned from international duty with the Honduras national team, but didn't start in the midfield. Instead, he started on left wing in place of Bobby Convey, who remains sidelined because of a calf strain.
Jacob Peterson started his first MLS match for Sporting KC at right midfielder.
• All-Star defender Matt Besler ran for the first time Saturday since having his appendix removed June 8, but still feels discomfort.
He hasn't officially been ruled out for the upcoming road trip for games Wednesday in Seattle and Saturday in Philadelphia, but seems likely to sit a few more games.

Significance of Lohri, the Festival of Joy and Prosperity
A festival celebrated with immense joy, songs, and dance, Lohri, is a warm commemoration of gratitude and hope. Celebrated enthusiastically in Northern India, mainly in the region of Punjab. Every year, on the 13th of January, just a day prior to Makar Sankranti, people celebrate this festival in their homes with their loved ones.
Lohri signifies that time of the year when the farmer's field is glistening like gold because of the wheat crop that had been planted at the onset of winters and is now in full bloom. The winter crop, rabi, is ready for being harvested as well.
A bonfire is the key characteristic of the festival of Lohri. Every family lights up a fire in their home's compound and sits around it. The fire denotes God and people pray, make offerings and then celebrate with song and dance around that fire.
People, during this time of the season, pay thanks to the Gods for the various blessings of life such as a good yield of crops at the farms and good food. They give thanks by making a bonfire and circling around it and, also, offering them different items of food such as peanuts, popcorns, gachak (jaggery and peanut bars) and revri (jaggery and sesame bars).
Families get together, lit a fire inside their home's compound, sit around it, give thanks to it and then sing folk songs and dance to them around the fire. Lohri is an excellent excuse for the families to come together and create new memories.
Lohri is a pious festival and is considered to be auspicious for major events in a family such as the birth of a child, someone's marriage, etc. The first Lohri of a newly born child or the first Lohri of a newly wedded couple is always celebrated as a big function in the family with all the near and dear ones.
Festive food is an essential part of the Lohri festival. Snacks like popcorns, peanuts, gachak, revri, etc are consumed after being offered to the Gods by way of offering it to the fire. The customary Punjabi meal Sarson ka saag (a dish made with mustard leaves) with Makki ki roti (flatbreads made from corn meal) is prepared in a large quantity.

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - October 18, 2016) - During a live presentation on Friday, October 28, 2016, Dr. Maria Laura Blefari, Biomedical Engineer from WorldCare Clinical and Dr. Mykol Larvie, Physician, Department of Radiology, Director of Molecular Neuroimaging, Massachusetts General Hospital will extend their expertise and provide:
Brain functional magnetic resonance imaging using blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) MRI, conventionally known as fMRI, has emerged as a method for evaluating cortical and subcortical neuronal function. At present, fMRI is used routinely for pre-surgical planning in the treatment of brain tumors and epilepsy, and is starting to be employed as a biomarker in drug development. fMRI works by detecting the changes in blood oxygenation level, which corresponds to neuronal synaptic activity, thereby revealing which parts of the brain are involved in a particular mental process. As a non-invasive method with high spatial and relatively high temporal resolution, fMRI has the potential to more precisely and accurately characterize brain function. This capability provides new methods for the evaluation of brain function, which can provide high quality, reproducible, quantitative information for the identification of clinical syndromes and development of targeted new therapies.
There have been numerous applications of BOLD fMRI reported in the clinictrials.gov repository -- 305 studies are identified using the keyword 'BOLD fMRI' as of August, 2016. In the majority of these studies, fMRI is a supplementary data set that is collected in addition to primary study endpoints. Criteria for assessing fMRI results are not typically specified a priori. In one case, a study of the antidepressants citalopram and escitalopram, outcome measures are specified in terms of brain voxels showing greater activation with one drug compared to the other. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis of fMRI results is routinely employed. Of note, BOLD fMRI was used as the reference standard for comparison of another imaging technique (arterial spin labeled perfusion) for pre-surgical planning, which is an acknowledgement of the degree to which BOLD fMRI is accepted for this indication.
The hardware required to obtain fMRI data is widely available and consists of a 1.5 T or 3.0 T MRI scanner with a multichannel head coil and audio-visual devices for stimulus presentation, and feedback devices to record subjects' responses. ECHO planar imaging is the most common sequence used in fMRI acquisition due to its fast whole brain sampling. The fMRI analysis is computationally complex. A brief overview of different approaches will be discussed. The analysis consists of two fundamental steps: pre-processing and statistical analysis. Preprocessing subroutines employ head motion correction to compensate for displacements in sampling brain areas, spin history corrections to minimize signal intensity changes, spatial and temporal filtering to increase signal to noise ratio and to remove the contribution of spurious frequencies from the signal of interest, and projection of an individual scan into a common atlas space. Statistical analysis, the process of identifying features relevant to processes under investigation, is carried out using a variety of approaches, including both parametric and nonparametric methods.
A typical fMRI study generates thousands of raw and analyzed images. Protocols supporting the data transfer from the MRI scanner to the designated processing station and specialized infrastructures for data management (e.g. storage, analysis and sharing) are essential to empower the precision and accuracy of the investigations.

Release more sugar for festive season: BJPOctober 3rd, 2008 - 11:41 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Oct 3 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Friday asked the government to release more sugar for the festive season to forestall artificial shortages that lead to inflated prices in the market."It is because of the new policy of the United Progressive Alliance government that sugar quota is released for three to six months, as opposed to monthly release of quota. This creates an artificial shortage and inflates prices," BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar told reporters.
"We ask for immediate release of sugar quota from the buffer stock for the festive season," Javadekar added.
He pointed out that the government had earlier announced that it would release 600,000 tonnes of sugar but did not specify when it would do so.
The festive season has already started in India with Eid-ul-Fitr celebrated Thursday and Duashera, Durga Puja and Diwali set to follow during this month.

About The Tribal Law Journal
Call for Papers (Vol. 19)
Symposium Issue on the Indian Civil Rights Act (1968-2018)
The Law and Indigenous Peoples Program and the Tribal Law Journal will host a symposium on the Indian Civil Rights Act (ICRA) on March 8 & 9, 2018, at the Isleta Resort & Casino in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
This ICRA Symposium will examine the promise, benefits, and detriments of ICRA, reflecting on the Act's impact on tribal sovereignty and individual rights after fifty years of operation. Included in the discussion will be the Act's effectiveness in implementing Congress's dual objectives of protecting civil liberties in Indian country and entrusting to sovereign tribal courts the administration of justice on reservations; the role of tribal, federal, and state governments in civil rights protection; the differential impact of recent amendments—the 2010 Tribal Law and Order Act and the 2013 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act—on the rights of Indians and non-Indians; and whether, overall, ICRA has been engaged to advance or deny Native people's civil rights.
The Tribal Law Journal was established in fall 1998 for the purpose of promoting indigenous self-determination by facilitating discussion of the internal law of the world's indigenous nations. The internal law of indigenous nations encompasses traditional law, western law adopted by indigenous nations, and a blend of western and indigenous law. Underscoring this purpose is the recognition that traditional law is a source of law.
Since the Tribal Law Journal's inception, the Tribal Law Journal has become the premier indigenous law journal in the United States and is one of the few international legal journal sources dedicated to indigenous and tribal law.
This Journal provides native peoples, practitioners, and law students an opportunity to contribute their work to the discussion relating to internal indigenous law. Contributions include, but are not limited to, tribal court case comments, reflections on tribal systems, the development of tribal law, the value of tribal law, interviews, and teachings.
The Tribal Law Journal is strictly an on-line forum hosted through the University of New Mexico School of Law which provides free access and the opportunity for comment and discussion about journal items. In addition, an on-line forum provides a variety of media to best capture indigenous thought and expression.

Monday my world will change forever. I will have two — TWO — children in elementary school.
I can't decide whether to laugh or cry.
I love being a mom. I have great kids. BUT. They make me tired. I love them so much that I want to give them everything I can. Everything I didn't have the opportunity to have. Everything I've learned. But that doesn't leave much for me. So I am determined to take advantage of my new life as a Mom To Two Grade Schoolers.
I'm going to exercise, dammit. No, really. Yoga, running, spinning. All the things. I'm going to do all the things. Pregnancy took a toll on my body and I never built it back up. This is MY time. I'm going to do it.
I'm going to write. EVERY DAY. I have so many ideas. So many things I've started. Writing keeps me sane. I'm going to start my memoir. Write for other sites. Blog ALL THE TIME. I'm going to be awesome.
My closet needs serious attention. As does our office. It's a crazy mess of old projects and out-grown activities. And the oldest iMac ever. I'm going to clean it out. Get a new iMac. AND a new printer. It will be the best office ever.
I'm going to call my parents like all the time. And text my friends. We might even have lunch. Or? GO SHOPPING? Why the hell not? And I'm going to text and email my husband so much he'll wonder about my sanity.
I might watch a few movies while my kids are in school. At least the first week. I deserve a day or two to myself, right? My DVR is heavy with ambition: Boyhood, Schindler's List (never seen it), several episodes of American Crime. And then there's Netflix. I've been meaning to watch that Tig Notaro doc. And surely there's a series I need to see. I mean, there's always time to do that other stuff, right?
Or I could nap. Naps are nice.
Hmm. I'm really terrible at adulting. It's a good thing the kids are getting out while they can.

Splash! has seen its celebs reveal a variety of fears from heights to water, but tonight saw an unexpected nightmare made real for Keith Duffy as his trunks came off during his dive.
The Boyzone star flashed his bum to the nation on the ITV show, when a rough entry into the water saw his tiny Speedo pulled down live on air.
Singer Keith awkwardly struggled to pull his bottoms up as he swam across to the judges, laughing as he pulled himself out of the pool.
"The trunks came off, what can I say? I thought my lucky four leaf clovers would have stayed on but..."
He added: "I'm just lucky I got them back on again in time Gabby, or I'd be standing here in my birthday suit beside you!"
Well, that's one way to secure some votes Keith!
Speaking after his second dive, Keith later joked: "I've got a Malteser birth mark on my bum that I've been hiding for years."
Pointing to his crutch, he then joked: "And not only that, I'm losing a few of the diamantes off my orange shamrock, it's terrible!"
With Diversity's Perri Kiely straight through to the final, Keith was left in the splash-off, providing another opportunity for him to flash the flesh.
He didn't disappoint, losing his trunks again but gaining a place in the Splash! final in the process, as presenter Michaela Strachan was sent home.
"Good luck with training. Now, go put some elastic in your pants!" teased Gabby Logan.
But where's the fun in that Gabs?

ACCA P1 Exam Tips March 2016
时间:2016年06月17 17:05
P1 Exam Tips March 2016
Each P1 paper offers 4-6 marks for displaying professional skills,which can easily be the difference between a pass and a fail.The marks are available for both format and the tone and style of your answer,where you may have to prepare a speech or write a letter on behalf of the Board addressing specific concerns.Take a look at the Article of 24 August 2009 for more guidance and some great hints on style.
P1 is a very wordy paper,and the examiner wants to ensure that you have a good grasp of the theories behind the questions,but also that you can successfully apply the theories to given scenarios.Therefore,it is very easy to get lost within a question if your layout and approach to a question is poor.
A good approach is to apply 3 rules in your answer:
Introduction–this should be very short,but can help you get over any'writers block'.It might include a read back of the question,or a definition of the subject matter(for example,if the question asks for the roles of NED's,start by very quickly defining what an NED is)
Theory–this section will show the examiner that you actually understand the issue being questioned,again,as with the introduction,this should really be kept short,it can be a section quote from the code,or a reference to an author(Cadbury or Greenbury et al).
Application–This will be the main bulk of your answer and should relate directly to the scenario.This is often the most difficult section of the answer,but should be made easier by the use of the introduction and theory sections.
In addition remember the golden rules of written questions:
- Plenty of white space
- Headings as required
- Short punchy meaningful paragraphs
Following are some of the famous topics that were tested in past
- Corporate governance critique and improvements.
- Effective internal control systems,reporting within differing jurisdictions.
- Influence of and intervention by institutional investors.
- Diversification of Board
- Function and importance of internal audit.
- Risk definition,analysis of risk and the role of the Board of Directors.
- Risk correlation and strategies for management of such risks.
- Ethical standpoints and their application to business decisions.
- Corporate codes of ethics critique and improvements.
- Tucker's ethical decision making model.
- Social and environmental footprint.
- Sustainability accounting.
- Integrated Reporting
- Conflict of interest and independence
- Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR)

The traditional approach of the headhunter
When an executive position has to be filled within an organisation, a specialist executive search agency will be approached and advised on the requirements of the role, before they identify prospective targets.
Executive headhunters search the world of business to find an ideal candidate from a similar organisation within the industry. They'll use all their contacts in an attempt to find the ideal candidate. It can be a lengthy, not to mention costly process, as they narrow down the field, make an approach, and then wait for the right answer.
The risks of traditional headhunting
There are no guaranteed results from a prolonged headhunting process. Even with a vast amount of work, a candidate might refuse a job due to the risk of changing position, a poor negotiation strategy, or they may even receive a counter offer from another company. A failure at the final stage could mean the entire process must begin again. Even if the right person is found, an executive at this level typically has a three month notice period, creating further delays. The scope of the traditional headhunting process is narrow, limiting the prospective candidates to those already within a similar position within the industry. There is a far more flexible alternative.
The Momenta alternative to headhunting
Momenta have spent years building relationships with highly qualified interim professionals. We have a network of specialists who are ready to start work immediately.

Juvederm Voluma XC Nashville
Parentheses are a pair of signs used in a sentence to interject an explanation. If you find that you're seeing parentheses on either side of your mouth, you'd probably looking for an explanation as well. The truth is your skin looses its elasticity over time — especially in the areas around your mouth, as natural muscle movement causes the skin's volume to decrease and wrinkles to form.
Those marks around your mouth and other wrinkles on your face can become pronounced as years go by, causing embarrassment and insecurity.
JUVÉDERM™ injectable gel can help reverse the signs of age and help your skin to maintain its original tautness and vigor.
Say goodbye to those laugh lines and facial parentheses. You've got the last laugh now.
About Juvéderm
A "next-generation" dermal filler, JUVÉDERM™ uses hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring chemical in human skin that hydrates and adds volume, thus smoothing out wrinkles. Because it's a natural substance found in the skin, no allergy tests are needed before treatment can be administered. Other advantages to JUVÉDERM™ are that it's the only dermal filler of its kind formulated to be smooth instead of granular. This means its smooth consistency causes the treatment to be longer-lasting than other fillers. Additionally, JUVÉDERM™ is the first treatment of its kind proven to be safe and effective for people of color.
Two formulas are available to meet an individual's needs. JUVÉDERM™ Ultra provides counter and volume to wrinkles and folds while JUVÉDERM™ Ultra Plus works to correct deeper wrinkles and folds on the face.
Is This Procedure for You?
JUVÉDERM™ is suitable for people of all ages, except those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have an infection in the area to be treated. An allergy test is not needed for the procedure. Those who have neuromuscular disorders should proceed with caution, as they may experience serious side effects from the treatment. Speak with Dr. Moore if you have such a disorder or any other concerns.
To learn more about this procedure and what one of our injectors can do for you, call (615) 771-7718 or click here to schedule an appointment online today.
Meet with Dr. Moore
In your initial consultation, one of our highly-qualified injectors will evaluate your health, discuss your medical history and assess the contours of your face. They will then review your goals and make recommendations based on evaluation. The techniques used in JUVÉDERM™ injection will be described in detail, and informational materials will be provided. Be sure to notify your injector of any medicine you are taking and, if you have any allergies, active skin issues or illnesses that affect your nerves and muscles.

A 44-year-old stepfather previously sentenced to death for allegedly killing his teenage stepdaughter to keep her from testifying about having raped her wants to be his own lawyer in his retrial later this year, where prosecutors are again seeking the death penalty.
Laurence Lovejoy told DuPage Judge Kathryn Creswell on Tuesday that he doesn't want to be represented by the team of four appointed public defenders for the March 27, 2004 murder of Erin Justice, 16, a Waubonsie Valley High School sophomore, in her mother's Aurora townhouse.
Lovejoy was convicted and sentenced to death by a DuPage County jury in February 2007 after the jury heard evidence that the defendant had raped, poisoned, stabbed, beaten and suffocated her in a bathtub.

"Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm."
Robert Louis Stevenson (November 13, 1850—December 3, 1894) was a Scottish writer. He wrote essays, novels, short fiction, and poems. He is most remembered for his adventure writing. His most famous works include Treasure Island (1883), Kidnapped (1886), Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), and The Black Arrow (1888).
Stevenson was born Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson in Edinburgh, Scotland to Thomas Stevenson and Margaret Isabella Balfour. Stevenson inherited a weak chest from his mother, causing him to be sick often into adulthood. It is said that during his bouts of sickness, his strictly Calvinist nurse, Alison Cunningham, would read him stories and cultivate early anxiety about religion, though the two had a fond relationship with each other.
Though he didn't learn to read until seven or eight, he dictated stories from young age and eventually began to write them. His parents were mostly supportive of his interest, his father paying for the publication of his first story, The Pentland Rising: A Page of History, 1666 (1866), when he was 16.
His health problems meant that he regularly had to take breaks from attending school to study with private tutors. One school he did attend was Edinburgh Academy. (Image source)
In 1867, he began attending the University of Edinburgh to study engineering. Though he had initially intended to follow in the family business, he later switched to studying law. He spent the next few summers traveling, spending much of his time with artists. After he graduated with a law degree, he decided his true calling was to become a writer.
In 1876, he met Fanny Osborne, a married American woman who had two children. She divorced her husband for Stevenson, and he moved to California to be with her. They remained together until his death.
His first significant work was an account of his travels in An Inland Voyage (1878). He followed with Virginibus Puerisque and Other Papers (1881) and later essays in Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes (1879). New Arabian Nights (1882) was his first book of short fiction.
The 1880s saw Stevenson confined to his bed as a result of his declining health. During this period, he wrote extensively. His output included what would become his most famous works: Treasure Island (1883), Kidnapped (1886), Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), and The Black Arrow (1888).
In 1888, Stevenson and his new family left San Francisco, mostly in search of a place that would be suitable for his health. They stopped on many islands, including Hawaii, and eventually settled and built a house on the Samoan islands. Stevenson continued to write and many of his later works are about the Pacific, including The Wrecker (1892), Island Nights' Entertainments (1893), The Ebb-Tide (1894) and In the South Seas (1896). He maintained close ties with many Samoan families and was eventually buried atop Mount Vaea there. (Image source)

All lectures, as well as lunch and dinner will be taking place at the MagLab headquarters in Tallahassee, Florida.
The only facility of its kind in the United States, the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (less formally known as the Magnet Lab) is the largest and highest-powered magnet laboratory in the world, headquartered in a sprawling 370,000-square-foot complex near Florida State University in Tallahassee. The lab also includes sites at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and the University of Florida in Gainesville. Together these three institutions operate the lab, collaborating in a unique, interdisciplinary way to advance basic science, engineering and technology in the 21st century.
The Magnet Lab.
Established by the National Science Foundation in 1990, the lab is a national resource open to both curious visitors and world-renowned scientists. Centralizing the country's greatest magnet-related tools, resources and expertise is not only efficient and cost-effective, but also encourages fruitful, collaborative research at the highest level. Every year, more than 900 visiting scientists and engineers from across the world conduct experiments using our state-of-the-art equipment. Our magnets are far larger, far more powerful and far more complex than the everyday magnets most people are familiar with. Many were designed, developed and built by our magnet engineering and design team, widely recognized as the finest in the world.
Invited speakers and registered participants will be lodged at the Wyndham Garden Tallahassee Capitol. Speakers and participants do not need to make their own reservations; this will be handled by the Theory Winter School, which will also cover the cost.

Brooke Bates is probably the youngest person to undergo a plastic surgery procedure to lose weight. The then obese girl had her first liposuction and tummy tuck when she was only 12 YEARS OLD! Her parents, Cindy and Joey, paid for the operation after Brooke got miserably affected with all the bullying by her schoolmates. In the same year, the young girl also received gastric band surgery after her weight returned.
Brooke had the plastic surgery done in Mexico where there regulation is less stringent. Although the operation was successful, the Bates family received disapproving comments from public who raised concerns about Brooke being too young to undergo a cosmetic procedure. Nonetheless, her parents claim that they have no regrets with the decision they made.
The girl, now in her 20s and is more commonly known as Barbie Brooke, has since become obsessed with her looks. Since her first liposuction, Brooke has already spent thousands on beauty enhancements, including a breast implant at the age of 15. Currently, she is working on ultimate dream: to look like a real-life Barbie.

In an preview of an interview with CSPAN set to air in its entirety on Sunday, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) downplayed the possibility that he could be presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's running mate in her general election match-up this fall.
"I was vetted for this spot back in '08, and I love being mentioned but my gut was never saying 'I think it's going to be me,' and I don't feel that differently now," Kaine said.
Kaine added he thought he could best serve Clinton by helping her win the state of Virginia, which he said was a battleground state.
"I think I can help her win, and I think I can help her win most by helping her win Virginia, and that's what I am doing already," he added.

When I was a child, I spent a lot of time sitting behind our garage, because just over the back fence was Frank Atwell's most amazing garden. It filled his whole back yard and inspired garden lust in me the rest of my life. Fast forward to 2013, and I now have my own back yard garden. Yes, I live in a rental, but the landlord said as long as we take the fence down when I leave, I could have free reign over the lawn! The summer of 2012, I participated in a community garden on Maple Street. There, I was introduced to John Jeavons' Grow biointensive gardening and I wanted to continue to experiment with this. Over the next few days, I'll show you how I turned a 20 X 20 foot piece of lawn into a little piece of paradise with just my spade, some newspaper and straw.

Growing in the Garden: Bunnies!
Soon after the gardening season got under way in the spring, I was watering the potatoes when I heard a very loud, hysterical squeal! What the………..I had my guesses… so I got a long stick and started poking around in the straw. Sure enough…bunny nest! Well, I worried over the bunnies for several days, kept poking open the nest and half hoping it would cause the mother to move them away to a safer place. I lay awake at night thinking of this year's garden philosophy, working WITH nature, not against it. And then I would dream about what wonderful compost bunnies might turn into…circle of life and all that! Finally I decided to just deal with it and let them alone. I had visions of the whole family setting up their dining room in our garden, but one day I picked a couple of the little guys up and held them, and they jumped out of my hand and ran away. The others followed, and I didn't see them again! Now the deer…..umm, that's another story!
What's your favorite melon to grow in the garden?
It's been years since I've tried to grow cantaloup, but this year, my motto was: "Try everything!" I bought some plants at Early May and wound up with a few melons that looked like this (and a few that looked oddly shaped and never made it past the golf ball size). I can't even begin to describe the thrill of seeing YOUR OWN MELONS growing right there before your eyes! I had to really discipline myself to wait until I thought the first one might be ripe (Who knew it would be so hard to know when the thing was ripe?). Turns out I could have waited a few more days on that first one, but it was still sheer bliss when I cut it open and saw the orange firm flesh and tons of little seeds……a "real" melon, grown from my own fingertips (and Earl May!).
This particular variety was not very sweet (don't remember the name and I didn't write it down…ooops), even when it was quite ripe. Do any of you have a favorite variety of melon you've grown? What's the sweetest musk melon you've ever tasted?
Double Digging is for the Birds!
I dug potatoes the other day and right now, as I write (11:09pm,) I am boiling up some of the ones that got nicked by the spade. I'm planning a bedtime snack of mashed potatoes to calm my heartburn from the homemade pizza sauce I had for supper!
Although most of the summer we've had a shortage of rain bordering on drought, a recent welcomed shower plus the fact that we did double digging in the spring made digging the potatoes pretty easy. You'll also see straw at the back of this photo which we used to cover seed potatoes that we planted very shallowly. The straw was wonderful for keeping the weeds down and the moisture in, but I'm not sure it did a lot for the size of the harvest.
Double digging is part of the method for John Jeavons' Grow More Vegetables that inspired our garden. In the lower right of the photo you see one of the digging boards that Steven made for us. As you double dig, you stand on the board to spread your weight and keep from compacting the soil. It was a lot of work, and when everyone else is planting and you are "still digging", you can be tempted to give up, but the pay off later in the gardening season is worth it.
For several days in April as we loosened the soil to a depth of about 12 inches, a robin kept us company, enjoying the worms and grubs we exposed. So I guess double digging is not just for the garden, it's for the birds too!
Ok, now I am off to soothe my stomach with some mashed potatoes. 🙂
Row cover, a gardener's best friend
At the Ames community gardening plots, there are lots of….well…challenges. The plots are nestled in a pretty setting between two patches of woods behind the Iowa Department of Transportation. I loved the way the woods provided shelter on some of the windy days this summer, but woods also provide nice habitat for deer and woodchucks! I've heard people complain about deer in Ames, but being an apartment dweller, I've never had to deal with their eating habits until now. So, garden cover to the rescue! People often ask me, "What is all that white fabric laying around your garden?"
My first garden in Ames was at the ISU Student Organic Farm when it was located on Mortenson Road. One of the reasons I came to Iowa State was because it had a Graduate Program in Sustainable Agriculture and I eagerly went to Borders and bought several books on organic gardening. Row cover was suggested for solving critter problems in the garden, including mammals, birds and insects. It's not something you can usually find at big box stores. This year I found mine at Earl May over on 16th street.
The photo above shows what is also called "floating row cove"r over my little patch of sweet potatoes. I was pretty sure deer were making a salad out of this after I saw the vines snipped off and hoof prints all around!
I also covered peas and beans (I pulled the row cover aside for these photos so you could see what is underneath.) I wanted both of these to climb, however, and after inserting some bamboo stakes, it was hard to keep the cover in place. I finally decided the tender plants were out of danger and removed the cover all together….and…..you guessed it…….SOMEONE snipped everything off! It doesn't pay to get careless as a gardener….shoulda kept my best friend right there in place!
The Garden: Mid Season
I can hardly remember the garden looking like this at the end of April. I was recruited to share Nitin's garden at the Ames community gardening plots located near Squaw Creek. I did a lot of garden dreaming, we did a lot of double digging and gradually the garden filled in.

What we have been working on for the past months, is a proof of concept. With this proof of concept, we want to show the feasibility of the combustion of iron powder in air.
The system consists of a dispersion system, where iron is put into a high air-flow. The iron-air mixture is then combusted. With a Stirling engine, we can generate electricity. The heat exchanger will exchange the rest of the heat to water, resulting in a warm water flow. An electrostatic filter, together with a cyclone will then capture the iron-oxide particles. The vacuum cleaner creates a negative pressure to make the flow after combustion possible.

Enthusiastic gardeners have long insisted that "poke sallet" would take the place of spinach and other garden greens if only it could be easily gown from seed. Wherever it is found it the wild—and that includes a very large portion of the country—pokeweed provides the most sought-after tender spring greens, first choice of all knowledgeable connoisseurs and gourmets. Will domesticating it bring wider popularity and perhaps market as a garden vegetable? Well, we're going to see whether the old prophecy will come true because scientists at the University of Arkansas Experiment Station have finally unlocked the secrets of the pokeberry and discovered how to increase and speed up its germination so that it is now comparable with other garden seeds.
Of course in poke country not many have waited for this great day for it has long been known that poke greens can be tamed and brought into the family garden just by digging up a few clumps of the old roots after the plant had gone dormant in the fall and replanting them along a fence row where they can grow and flourish undisturbed by the plow.
Pokeweed ( Phytolacca americana ) is a hardy perennial through most of the middle and southern states. It likes rich soil with plenty of moisture, humus and organic matter der ideal conditions it will grow to shrub-like proportions, six feet tall with branches spreading over an equal area. Given room, polk is an attractive plant with dark green leaves brightened at almost every axile by a tassel of yellowish white blossoms. The blooms are followed by clusters of berries that change from green to red and finally turn a rich, royal dark purple in the fall.
It is these berries that give pokeweed its less familiar name of "Inkberry." During the Civil War many a letter home was written by a soldier boy who fashioned his own quill from a wild turkey wing feather and squeezed the juice from ripe pokeberries to provide the ink. Some of these letters, legible as the day they were written, can be found in museums today, attesting to the permanence and enduring qualities of inkberry juice.
A bush burdened with colorful polkberries in autumn is a most pleasing sight, and the fruit is loved by a host of birds—including the robin, mockingbird, brown thrasher, blue jay, catbird, quail and others. There are millions and billions of seeds—fifty or more in every berry—pounds on every plant. What a bountiful feast to spread before our feathered songsters! Seeing a berry-laden bush in autumn and realizing that each individual berry is packed with tiny seeds fills one with awe and amazement at the prodigality of Nature . . . and her downright wastefulness. Poke is never a common weed and seldom takes over or becomes much of a nuisance simply because so few of the billions of seeds produced each year can find conditions suitable for germination ad growth.
The hard-coated, obstinate poke seed must pass through the alimentary canal of a bird or animal to soften and prepare it for germination. In this process the seed is subject to prolonged heat for a bird's normal body temperature may be as high as 106 degrees. At the same time the seeds are at the mercy of the harsh action of powerful digestive juices containing strong acids and the scarifying process of peristalsis. The few seeds that escape complete digestion, then, account for the comparative scarcity of poke plants.
To solve the problem of germinating pokeweed, scientists learned to soak the seed for exactly five minutes in concentrated sulphuric acid (technical grade). 'The seeds are completely submerged in the solution, and at the end of the soaking period they are washed quickly and thoroughly in running water to stop the action and remove all traces of acid. Seed treated in this manner germinates at the rate of 80 to 90 percent in two weeks' time, while untreated seed in a test plot showed only 40 percent germination after six weeks or longer.
Spring crops of poke greens are produced by planting seed about the same time as spinach. Commercial plantings in the south are handled as an established perennial crop like asparagus. Only one cutting of greens is made during the first year in the field. In the second growing season three cuttings are made; in mid-May, early June and late June. Until the plants have heavy root systems and are well established, extensive cutting may easily destroy them. North of the Mason-Dixon Line poke is not reliably perennial and probably should be treated as an annual, making three or more cuttings and then plowing the stubble under for green manure.
Young new growth, up to six inches high, and growing through a light mulch of hay or leaves that blanches the polk foliage to a pale green, offers the most tender and delicate greens. Then the tender stalk up to half an inch in diameter—but still delicate enough to snap at finger touch—can be trimmed and served like asparagus.
Do not be tempted by its delicacy to use poke for salads in a raw form. Uncooked pokeweed can be violently cathartic and cause severe poisoning. Because poke is a tender vegetable it should be cooked quickly in boiling water, lightly salted, and served quickly with drawn butter and a dash of lemon juice. The tender stalks are handled just like asparagus and are especially good served on toast with hollandaise or a mild cheese sauce.
If you plan to harvest pokeweed seeds you should collect the ripe berries in early August. Only fully ripened berries should be picked. Place these in a crock or other non-metallic container and crush them. The pulp should then be allowed to ferment for three or four days. After this period of fermentation, add water to separate the seeds from the pulp and skin. Spread the washed seeds in a thin layer on cheesecloth or a newspaper to dry. The clean, dry seed can then be treated with acid and planted immediately to provide fall and winter greens . . . or the dry seed may be held in storage for spring planting.
Where pokeweed is a hardy perennial, well-rooted and established plants are amazingly regenerative and persistent. Under such conditions, the plant will produce new growth even under extensive and severe cutting. For fresh winter greens, the heavy root clumps can be lifted and stored in a freeze-proof root cellar where they will send up tender shoots in early spring, very like endive or chicory.
Poke needs only light blanching before packaging and storing in the freezer locker. It may also be canned and preserved like spinach or mustard greens.
Do not use any part of the poke roots or seeds, as they are said to be poisonous. Roots of old plants are coarse and woody and would not be attractive in any case . . . but if you're growing poke as an annual garden green, there is a temptation to pull and use the whole plant, like beet thinnings. It's better to be on the safe side. Cut off and discard the root portions.
We grew some and pealed the stock and esteemed it, and it tasted like a mild Asparagus.
My grandmother and mother always said that one had to boil poke sallet 3 times or it would be poisonous...I also always heard that the digestive tract of a bird was necessary, but it never occurred to me that the conditions could be created at home! good to know! thanks for a great article.
I grew up on a working farm, in the 1950's and 1960's, with wonderful parents, brothers and sisters. We had huge gardens that Daddy plowed with a tractor. All of us children, Mother and our Grandmother followed behind planting the seed and seedlings. This food was canned and frozen for us to eat during the winter months. Every spring we would go down to the creek bed, open the trunk of the car, spread a blanket and fill it full of poke sallet. Mother along with us girls would then blanch it and freeze it. We cooked it and served it like other greens and occasionally Mother would cook it and then scramble it with eggs. The taste was out of this world. For years I have craved poke sallet, but couldn't remember what it looked like so was afraid to gather any. I hope to find some seed to plant in my yard so I can taste this again before I leave this beautiful earth. Does anyone know if these seed can be purchased? If not I will try to harvest some next year.
I had an old lady tell me that you can take the large part of the stalk and dip it in flour with salt and pepper and deep fry it and it is said to taste like deep fried mushrooms

Was it a showdown or merely showtime?
Closing arguments at the corruption trial of Rod Blagojevich took a sharp detour Monday as one of the former governor's lawyers all but vowed to defy an order barring him from calling out the prosecution for failing to summon key witnesses to testify.
In calm but stern tones, U.S. District Judge James Zagel threatened to hold Blagojevich attorney Sam Adam Jr. in contempt if he proceeded. Adam said he might just try it anyway, prompting Zagel to suggest the Blagojevich legal team could sub in a different lawyer to sum up their case if Adam remained unwilling to comply.

Repealing Essential Health Benefits Will Leave People with Preexisting Conditions Unprotected
Members of Congress and the Trump Administration have frequently proposed measures that would eliminate or undermine essential health benefits (EHBs) established by the Affordable Care Act.
This means getting rid of a core protection for people with pre-existing conditions. And it would have devastating consequences for millions of people.
Weakening or eliminating the EHB requirements would leave millions without any affordable health care options, forcing them to pay out of pocket for needed care or go without care all together.
